[quote=SK in CV][quote=no_such_reality]No SK, the house already sent over appropriations to reopen critical parts of the government which the Senate rejected.
The Senate is playing our way or the highway and the Media is singing the tune saying the Republicans are to blame.[/quote]
Imagine this scenario. We have president Romney, a Republican controlled Senate and a Democratic controlled house. And the house refuses any continuing resolution that doesn’t include raising the top tax bracket from 39% to 45%. They’ve refused any conference on the issue with the Senate for nine months. The government shuts down, and they send appropriations bills over to the Senate that only include continuing funding for Obamacare, Head Start and the NIH.
Which party would be playing “my way or the highway”?[/quote]
Nice extortion, just like the media.
[quote]The second measure would have kept the government open in exchange for delaying the health care law’s individual mandate and eliminating federal health care contributions for lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides.
I mean, really, let’s not fund anything over whether or not individuals ‘have to’ buy insurance. Not, prevent the exchanges, not gut obamacare, just whether or not there is a financial penalty.
